Harris acknowledged that his wrist surgery could have been career-ending, as he faced the uncertainty of whether he’d be able to play at the same level again. Thankfully, things have continued to improve: “It’s the best I’ve felt in the last two and a half, three years, I’m in a very good place mentally and physically. My tennis is feeling good, and I feel like I’m playing a high level. It’s good to be back in the main draw of a grand slam, competing against the highest level where I want to be, and where I have been in the past, so I’m excited to get back to that and earn and work my way back to the top.
Whilst the transition to play a five setter was “tricky”, Harris said that it made the success all the more special, as “I earned my way to be playing here, so I’m very relieved but also very excited at the same time”.The two have previously faced each other in 2023 at the ATP Mallorca tournament, when Harris won the qualifying round against Michelsen.
